My sculptures cause an uproar, astonishment, and put a smile on your face.
From Florentijn Hofman
I make work a bit like how you mix cocktails - with ingredients like budget, history and location.
I make big objects that are simple, bright and clear, kind of ironic but hopefully funny because I love the shapes, and I get inspiration from toys and books, and I believe in art for everyone.
If you work in a public space, you have to be aware that no one is buying a ticket.
I want people to get inspired by public space - their space. People tend to forget about it because they do the daily thing, but putting up these sculptures breaks the routine.
I've always said the rubber duck is a yellow catalyst.
The Internet is fascinating but also stupid in a way. You only see two-dimensional images, and you think you've seen it and know it.
I love it when people travel to see one of my works, and I always make time to meet and talk with them.
That is the effect of my sculptures in the public domain: people are making contact with each other again.
I make work not to give answers but to question things.
